Glistening orange sweet potato rounds form a semi-circle on the plate. A heady, creamy dollop of sage-infused goat cheese graces each round. A scattering of finely chopped chives and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes add a flash of green and red. The potatoes display an enticing char around the edges, and the cheese has a delicate, almost frosty appearance that contrasts beautifully with the warm earthy hues.

If you’re a fan of different textures, toast your chopped sage leaves quickly in a dry pan before mixing them with the goat cheese for an added crunch. For a vegan option, substitute the goat cheese with a vegan cream cheese of your choice. Kids would love to help in arranging the sweet potato rounds and spooning the cheese on top.
